To  Reach  Gloucester, 


¥  ¥ 


Gloucester,  Massachusetts— the  place  you  come  back  to — is 
situated  on  that  rugged  promontory  known  as  Cape  Ann,  where 
cooling  ocean  breezes  blow  continually  from  off  the  broad 
Atlantic. 

It  is  thirty  miles  from  Boston  from  which  it  may  be  reached 
by  Train,  Steamer,  Trolley  or  Automobile.  About  sixteen  trains 
daily  leave  the  North  Station,  Boston,  via  the  Boston  &  Maine 
Railroad,  direct  for  Gloucester,  the  Express  Trains  reaching 
Gloucester  in  less  than  an  hour. 

The  Steamer  trip  on  the  finely  equipped  steamers  of  the 
Boston  &  Gloucester  Steamboat  Company  is  a  two-hour  ocean 
sail  along  the  beautiful  North  Shore,  with  a  varied  scenic  view 
of  which  there  is  no  superior. 

By  Trolley  the  trip  is  delightfully  varied  on  account  of  the 
ever  changing  panorama  of  beautiful  scenery  of  sea  and  shore, 
country  and  city.  Only  one  change  of  cars  is  required  l^etween 
Boston  and  Gloucester. 

An  Automobile  Trip  to  Gloucester  is  made  over  a  fine  stretch 
of  State  Highway  and  Ocean  Boulevard,  passing  through  Revere 
Beach,  Lynn,  vSalem,  Beverly,  Pride's  Crossing,  Beverly  Farms, 
Manchester-by-the-Sea,  and  enteiing  Gloucester  through  that 
beautiful  section  known  as  Magnolia.
